The count of the ballots early to

enough Democrats either elected or

the Republican margins almost to the
vanishing point.
Needing a net gain of 10 seats in
the senate and 53 in the house, the
Democrats at 1 a. m., eastern time,
were leading in enough to indicate for
theim a gain of seven senators and 30
representaftives. In addition, the vote
in 16 house districts continued .so close
that they might swing either w^y. and

Goluiwbia, Nov. 4.— Rain and the m-
ual unopposed Democratic ticket today
caused one of the lightest votes in re
cent years in a general off-year elec
tion in South Carolina, it was indi
cated tonight.
De.spite the fact that 111 constitu
tional amendments were submitted to
the electorate, foiecasters had pre<iict-
ed a light vote. Chilly, damp weather,
however, reduced polling below expe< -
tations.
Meager and incomplete returns ear
ly tonight indicated that the constitu
tional amendments were running
ahead, although many counties w^erc
unreiM)rted, espetially tho.se in more
remote sections.

Democrats were cutting deep into
the Republican majorities in both the
Senate and house on the basis of re
turns early today.
Right Republican seats were endan
gered on the incomplete counts, while
the Republicans were threatening to
capture only one Democratic seat,
Steele’s, of Iowa. An overthrow of 10
seats is nee'essary to give the Demo
crats the senate.
